Pillowcase dress!

Well I finally made my first pillowcase dress and bias tape, YAY! Both were very easy and fun to make.
I just love this fabric, I ordered it a couple weeks ago from amazon.com and had the matching polka dot fabric in my stash. Sorry about the yucky pics these were takin with my cell phone and does the dress and fabric no justice. But like I said in my previous post I have a new camera now so my pics will be much better in following post.

My Bry being silly just makes the dress even cuter, dont ya think.
Like I said this lil dress was so simple to make, all I did was cute the arm hole by placing one of her existing dresses onto the corners of the fabric added my elastice at the top and bias tape around the arm holes which I continued as the shoulder ties and a band of matching fabric at the bottom, took about an hour to make because of all the yucky ironing of seams and such. I plan to make many more of the dresses, they are so cute and easy to wear and Ms. Bry just loves that they are comfortable and cool.
If you havent made one of these I suggust you do.
Tomorrow's sewing will be another pillowcase dress using the fabric I used on my mom-n-law apron gift.
Goodnight........
